Ok, so I removed the brocoli...and jeez...no less than 100 baby assassin snails dropped off it. I was shaking it around in the water and they just kept coming. It sucks they take so long to mature or I'd be selling them by now. They're about the size of each of these letters in this post.

My assassins do not touch any veggies. How strange. It gets covered with trumpet snails but no assassins eat it for me. Sorry about the carrot-cuke mixup. Looked like a cuke to me. I will be happy when summer finally gets here and cukes don't cost so much.

Stick a stainless steel fork [Dinner fork] through a slice of it and it will sit on the bottom.

Good luck

Be sure the fork tines point down, toward the substrate. That way they won't cause injury if they are exposed as the veggie is eaten. I use a fork for watermelon and have 2 veggie clips on the front glass for the broccoli (they each need their own stalk).
